### 55792 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 180 / Wednesday, September 17, 2014 / Notices

Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.

Estimated total annual burden hours: 34,175 hours.

Estimated total annual costs: $2,332,954. This includes an estimated cost of $1,086,403 for the Section 18 program and an estimated cost of $1,236,551 for the Section 24(c) program. This ICR does not involve any capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

There is no change in the estimated respondent burden hours per SLN application for this ICR from the currently-approved ICR for Section 24(c) applications, for either registrants or states. The total annual respondent burden estimate (registrants + states) has decreased slightly from 16,900 to 15,860
hours due to a small decrease in the average number of petitions received annually, from about 325 to 305. Although EPA does not require Section 24(c)’s and cannot estimate precisely how many submissions will be received in the future, the Agency expects to receive approximately 305 Section 24(c) applications annually over the next 3 years. As a result of the decrease in the number of applications and updating the wage rates, the estimated respondent cost increased slightly from $1.235 million to $1.237 million.

The estimated unit burden for a given FIFRA section 18 application is unchanged. EPA estimates an increase in the number of section 18 application
submissions and estimated annual burden relative to the existing, approved
collection. EPA estimates that the total annual respondent burden has increased from 12,672 hours to about 18,315 hours. The increase corresponds with an increase in the average number of Section 18s requested per year, from 128 to 185. Although EPA does not require
Section 18s and cannot estimate precisely how many submissions will be received in the future, the Agency expects to receive approximately 185 Section 18 applications annually over the next 3 years. As a result of the increase in the number of applications and updating the wage rates, the estimated respondent cost increased from $739 thousand to $1.086 million.

IV. What is the next step in the process
for this ICR?

EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the person listed

**Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision**  **Approval, State of Oklahoma**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  This notice announces the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA’s) approval of the State of Oklahoma’s request to revise/modify certain of its EPA-authorized programs to allow electronic reporting.

**DATES :**  EPA’s approval is effective on September 17, 2014.

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option of the state, tribe or local government in place of proceduresavailable under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document receiving systems that meet the applicable subpart D requirements. Once an authorized program has EPA’s approval to accept electronic documents under certain programs, CROMERR § 3.1000(a)(4) requires that the program keep EPA apprised of any changes to laws, policies, or the electronic document receiving systems that have the potential to affect the program’s compliance with CROMERR § 3.2000.

On October 2, 2013, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (OK DEQ) submitted an amended application titled ‘‘Electronic Document Receiving System’’ for revisions/ modifications of its EPA-approved electronic reporting program under its EPA-authorized programs under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed OK DEQ’s request to revise/modify its EPA-authorized programs and, based on this review, EPA determined that the application met the standards for approval of authorized program revisions/ modifications set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision to approve Oklahoma’s request torevise/modify its following EPAauthorized programs to allow existing and expanded electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 51, 62, and 141 is being published in the Federal Register : Part 52—Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Part 62— Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; and Part 142—National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation.

OK DEQ was notified of EPA’s determination to approve its application with respect to the authorized programs
listed above.

Also, in today’s notice, EPA is informing interested persons that they may request a public hearing on EPA’s action to approve the State of Oklahoma request to revise its authorized public

water system program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). Requests for a hearing must be submitted to EPA within 30 days of publication of today’s Federal Register notice. Such requests should include the following information:

(1) The name, address and telephone number of the individual, organization or other entity requesting a hearing;

(2) A brief statement of the requesting person’s interest in EPA’s determination, a brief explanation as to why EPA should hold a hearing, and any other information that the requesting person wants EPA to consider when determining whether to grant the request;

(3) The signature of the individual making the request, or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the organization or other entity.

In the event a hearing is requested and granted, EPA will provide notice of the hearing in the Federal Register not less than 15 days prior to the scheduled hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for hearing may be denied by EPA. Following such a public hearing,
EPA will review the record of the hearing and issue an order either affirming today’s determination or rescinding such determination.

If no timely request for a hearing is received and granted, EPA’s approval of the State of Oklahoma request to revise its part 142—National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation program to allow electronic reporting will become effective 30 days after today’s notice is published, pursuant to CROMERR section 3.1000(f)(4).
